Say what you will but the cast of this first season of Celebrity Big Brother came to play the game. Well, except for Keisha who is begging to go home on Friday after helping the rest of the crew backdoor Shannon. and Metta World Peace who either wants to go home as well or is using that as a strategy to get dragged farther in the game, and Omarosa, who allegedly tried to quit. But the other people? They are all playing balls to the wall. Tonight the plan is to backdoor Shannon if possible. If that is not possible there is some disagreement over whether to vote out Keisha or Omarosa. There is no way production is going to let Omarosa go home, so I predict she will win the Power of Veto comp tonight.
Editing is making it look like Brandi and Ariadna are the masterminds behind getting Shannon out. Apparently, production has told them that Omarosa is weak from the asthma attack so she is not a threat. Because they sure turned on a dime.
Omarosa once again announces to the house that we are “not okay” with Trump in the White House and says that they round-ups of DACA deportations are getting really aggressive. Actually, the round-ups are not of the DACA people. At least not yet. Mark call it “Omarosa’s STENCH in the White House.” Omarosa says that Pence is worse than Trump.
Metta is hilarious talking to the camera in the hot tub and the camera keeps nodding at him and he squeals like a little kid. He also doesn’t know the difference between a duck and a flamingo.
The POV comp is a knockout round. Ross and Keisha are up first. Marissa stupidly won the POV when Omarosa would have won if she had hung back. Then Omarosa could have taken herself down and Marissa would not have any blood on her hands. Now Marissa is going to take down Keisha. Keisha is crying because she wants to go home. She is making them promise they will send her home on Friday if they do this. She wants to go home to her kid. As I pointed out, she left her breastfeeding kid at home to come on the show and now she regrets it. Ross is stupidly saying he can’t promise because if James gets HOH then she might not go up. SHUT UP ROSS. Jesus. Just take her ass down. She knew she had a kid when she left it at home!
Well FUCK. Keisha has talked Marissa out of using the veto. Now Keisha will go home and Shannon will ultimately find out about the backdoor plan. These people all just fucked themselves and Shannon, James and Omarosa will probably join forces. Omarosa is still trying to figure out WTF is going on. This is all Marissa’s FAULT! ALL SHE HAD TO DO WAS LET OMAROSA WIN THE POV AND SHE WOULD HAVE COME OFF AND SHANNON WOULD HAVE GONE UP! What a bunch of amateurs.
Keisha says that her breast milk is depleting in the house and she needs to get home to her child. She begs them through tears to send her home. Then she says something to James where she tells him she was the one doing all of Shannon’s dirty work. Then she says, “you were our choice, but know that this is not an alliance.” I have no idea what that means other than she may be trying to convince James to split off from Shannon in a parting gift to the majority alliance who wanted to backdoor her. Lord this is a tangled web of deception.
Omarosa gives a weird speech about God and her mother and how everyone you encounter is your teacher. Then she says to please make the choice that is best for Keisha. The audience cracks up laughing.
It would be funny if everyone voted to evict Omarosa. But of course, everyone voted to evict Keisha. When Brandi watches Keisha’s photo go black and white she says, every face is worth $5,000. So we know she is getting paid $5K for every eviction she survives.
Keisha says that he comments to James were in fact throwing Shannon under the bus. She says the game was tough and the most unique experience of her life.
I hope feeds come up before #BBAD I want to see Shannon’s reaction to Keisha’s speech.
Poor lil Rudy had no idea that if she didn’t maintain a consistent schedule, mother nature would turn off the faucets. So how ling will she give baby what she wants, will they wear matching backpacks to scool.
Keisha may be one of the worst players in history. She aligned herself to only 1 person. That person disliked by the house. What a strategy. Why not let her self evict and bring on the competitions
Loved it when Omarosa was talking in the diary room and gave that pathetic little cough and then Julie made the same cough and the audience laughed. Sure sounded like Julie was mocking Omarsoa.
I am not a fan of Trump or Omarosa but I’m tired of her little digs about politics. She was fired and drug out of the West Wing kicking and screaming. She is not the arbitrator of all things political. For Pete’s sake she interviewed we should all bow down to Trump. No matter how bad he is she would still be singing his praises if they didn’t fire her. She found “religion “ after she found she was dispensable. Take a seat, Chick, your opinion is too little too late.
Tamara, I love that you got the intel on Brandi and the houseguests’ compensation. I was planning to post to ask if you knew what they get paid for being on the show.. Question answered before asked!
Brandi seems to think they all get the same pay so she outed hers on camera. The thing is, they all get a base salary, for staying until they get eliminated with additional incentives each time they escape an eviction. And of course the #250,000 for winning.
HOWEVER, they are not all paid the same and negotiate their own contracts. There are all these crazy rumors about how much Omarosa was paid. Probably started by Omarosa herself. I’m sure she negotiated a great contract, but it’s probably not much more than everyone else. The base pay is likely about $150K plus five K for each eviction they don’t go home. Maybe even $100K for some of them. A lot of these people really need the work, and the money and it is a less than three week gig. Eleven cast members is a lot.
There are rumors that Omarosa got millions. I don’t believe them.
Yeah TT, I think Wendy said $1.3 million, lol.
That’s a lot!!
Oh, today she said $1.2 million. Lol.
Tonite’s ep. was epic! at what point does Omarosa figure out that the CBB participants are NOT her staff. I’m glad that Kiesha is gone. I don’t understand how Kiesha threw Shannon under the bus.
This crew is awesome! the one that surprises me the most is Ariadna – she is in it to win it!
Did you notice that Omarosa never participated in the POV game – she waited for the other person to win
She claimed that she threw it so Ross wouldn’t have to nominate a third person.
Okay. We’ve been on fish forever and Pop is rerunning the show.
THE RUMOR IS THAT Metta has taken off. I can’t believe this is true but apparently Omarosa said “Metta has broken out of the building” just before they went to fish.
OTOH, They need to be doing an HOH comp. Maybe it’s just taking a long time?
This is a weirdass season.
Also, Omarosa appeared to know Keisha was going home so she didn’t need to win POV.
Wonder if they paid Keisha to leave early since she wanted to go anyway and it was the easiest way to save Omarosa.
Cannot wait to learn who the new HOH is! This will be a great week if they’re all expecting the double eviction Friday 🙂
Ariadna is the new HOH. It must have been a physical comp because she needed a medic for having problems breathing and Metta pulled a hamstring.
The feeds were down AGAIN for most of BBAD so I went to bed, but I left the TV on. When the feeds came back it work me up and I rolled over to see Ari won HOH. The weird thing was how happy Omarosa was pretending to be about this. She was fawning all over Ari.
Also, EVERYONE was coughing and talking about asthma. Ari WHO DOES NOT HAVE ASTHMA took a hit or two of Marissa’s inhaler. Apparently the challenge was very physical. Metta pulled a groin muscle or something in his leg. Ari could not stop coughing. From what I picked up, there was a very strong wind tunnel and lots of sand. Ari apparently breathed in some sand. I dunno. Omarosa was calling for a medic for her new BFF Ari.
Ross and the guys were trying to send Omarosa home. Ari wants Shannon out. I believe she is putting up James and Shannon and if fine if either one of them goes with Mark as a pawn if someone wins veto.
wow – Congratulations Ari! I have never had so much fun laughing at Omarosa! she is sucking up at the speed of light and it is hilarious.
I like how Ross is playing everyone!
Wow, certainly can’t say that the show is boring or uneventful.
It’s really entertaining. And finally I feel like I’m “expecting the unexpected, lol.”
Someone on Twitter just shared this link with me. I’m not a Piers Morgan fan, but he has a LOT of interesting things to say about Omarosa when he was on The Apprentice with her. And none of it is good.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5387031/PIERS-MORGAN-did-Trump-hire-Rob-Porter-Omarosa.html
Go check out the link and then we can talk about it here.
Things will not end well for Omarosa. Working at the WH (for any administration) is such a huge opportunity and shitting all over people in the highest offices is a bad, bad idea. If she had some scruples, loyalty and self control, she could have parlayed that experience into a more powerful position.
No one will ever trust her with anything. Sure she’ll do interviews and a book, but then what? Provoking the WH? They probably have so much dirt on her. If she slanders anyone, she better be ready for lawsuits that will take away what she loves most. And, if she thinks that she’ll blackmail anyone (not to say more), things will not end well for her.
Read it and like it. She is an awful human being. I have no reason not to believe him. I watched that season she was horrible to almost everyone. Has is this woman even married? I get they put on an act for tv. Kenya got on my nerves even when she was on apprentice sometimes but normally find her beautiful smart and classy but there is just NOTHING ok about Omerosa. I was trying to figure out why she was ever hired to work for Trump work anywhere not on reality tv but Pierce kind of explains it. Not why but the alarm I felt also. I mean damn Brandi looks like an angel in this house. That says a lot. Omerosa almost reminds me of a villain on Scandal. So so so evil it’s unbelievable to take as real. I would be worried that bitch would murder me in my sleep and get away with it. Who is this nuts man married to her??
The reason Trump took Omarosa was because she was pretty much THE ONLY AA that would serve in his administration. And Trump needed at least 1 black person so he could say he wasn’t racist.
Piers knows that, he was, and still is, just as far up Trump’s ass as Omarosa.
Omarosa is being BFFs with Brandi and Ari. Surprise, surprise. She is also throwing Shannon under the bus, despite the fact that she was already laying on the road preparing for the treadmarks. She apparently said something to upset Shannon and then said to Marissa,”She’s probably in the bathroom cutting herself right now ”
Omarosa’s discussions regarding VP Pence was on every single news outlet and morning show today.
They might not be paying Omarosa a million dollars, but they probably should be at this point. She’s earning it.
I don’t know why, but I truly assumed that the dealings regarding anything about the White House would be forbidden.
I thought it would be like going to a secret information meeting where nothing is to be repeated.
I mean it is the White House!!
Leaves me a bit nervous with her blabbing God knows what.
Isn’t there rules for being removed?
Also TT, how is it with the feeds?
Is the game moving too fast, or do you think they are worth getting? (For next season, lol)
I love how hard they are playing, it is exciting.
Sorry for the delay on live feed updates today. Last night Shannon and James officially went on the block. Shannon knows she is the target and went to bed and cried alone all night.
Metta has some super funny chats with the cameras and explained his love for Orwell the stuffed Owl that he carries with him everywhere. Orwell is the mascot for POPTV in the US because it is a late night show for , “Night Owls” He says he was missing his wife next to him in bed and Orwell was a comfort. Metta has the humor of at 13 year old and it is kind of endearing POV is today. Haven’t checked to see if they have played yet. I am terribly behind today due to researching a future story. More soon. Soonish. When I can. 🙂
TT,
The feed updates have been spottish at best, basically , missing a good deal of the time over the past couple of days.
I understand when they waited for the Omarosa situation to settle down, and gather there was something with Metta for a while yesterday. I also get that they wait until comps are over before POP begins again.
But is this show moving too fast for CBS? Are they having more trouble controlling/running it than they normally would, or what is going on with the feeds, from your perspective? A couple of times it has appeared to me that Omarosa is acting like the CBS/BB people report to her, and can be ordered by her, which I bet is not well received.
It now seems like they are running the nighttime show a day behind events because they don’t have enough time to get footage created and stay current. It appears to be a serious issue for them- so they might be slowing down the content on the feeds to keep the audience interested. What do you think?
Did I also see something saying there will be no more live evictions? I’d welcome your insight.
I must admit I wonder how they can ever go back to an all summer much slower game after this. After they get over the hurdles it is much more fast paced and compelling.
And to your Omarosa comment- while the political content was covered on many political shows last night, she was laughed at/dismissed so readily by all, with the content the only focus, that don’t thin she deserves much from it. Once the issue is raised,it goes on on its own. She is summarily dismissed.
I have not done the feeds yet, but this show airs at such random times I feel like I miss it. I think it’s on tonight and Friday. Last night Bacheor Winter Games were on and tomorrow night too. I don’t know how I’m going to keep up with these two shows and their wonky schedules but I enjoy both of them!
First of all, I just realized that the CBBUS link on the black bar was not leading to the right posts. It’s fixed now.
Secondly, Sabrina, everything is perfectly normal with feeds and the show. Big Brother is usually not a live show except for eviction nights. So it is always a couple of days behind what we see on the feeds which is why I provide feed updates in comments.
As for today, things have been changing all day regarding who will go home out of Shannon and James if they both remain on the block.
At some point the girls seemed to be feeling sorry for Shannon who has been crying a lot. OTOH, Brandi, Ari, Ross and Marissa seem to be the four in charge. Today they made a final five with James and then made another final five with Metta. So they are playing dirty.
Veto comp hasn’t started yet and they neeed to fucking do it so that we don’t miss any more of the PopTV show.
Shannon has returned to her bad attitude. She is threatening not to come to the finale. Don’t be a sore loser, Shannon. You were voted off because who played hard and fast and everyone was afraid of you, just like James. You should have left some in your tank! She says she is going to ADDRESS AMERICA AND THE WORLD in her eviction speech tomorrow night. Newsflash Shannon, there are more important things happening in the world than you being evicted from a game show.
Ross, who is playing a billion sides of the game tells the guys they can’t sit next to a girl at the end because they have all the numbers.
At the veto ceremony, James used the veto on himself and Ariadna nomimated Mark as the replacement.
The gang is wondering if tomorrow is a double eviction. Julie didn’t mention that it was. But if it is the names they are throwing around are Metta, Omarosa and James. There isn’t much consensus of who they would send home but James is the smartest choice if you ask me.
They are all worried about a Metta HOH win because they have no idea who he would nominate. Ross tries to get Brandi to find out.
